Title: If you still have your Halloween pumpkin, try this...
Post by: Rob'in'To on November 02, 2010, 06:26:54 PM

Hey, if you still have your Halloween pumpkin, try this!  I put a cup of black oil sunflower seed in it and shortly after the Squirrels found it.  

This young 'un, we call "Baby" claimed it.  Anybody come around and she'd pop her head out and make aggressive ramblings.  Also is "Baby" with mommy "Charlie".  Baby is a late summer baby, he/she and mom still hang around together occasionally and Baby still tries to play with her.  It's quite comical to watch.  Charlie seems to put up with it like a good mom.

Rob ... great idea re: pumpkin.  Super cute squirrels!  :D

This morning at Maplewood Park, I sighted a carved Halloween pumpkin in the woods.  Thought of you right away and laughed!   :lol:

Thanks Jo-Anne.    I see pumpkins everywhere still and want to take the cooler looking ones home for more of this kind of entertainment...  but haven't.

Here's what I caught today...  looks like revenge of the pumpkin here!

Cute Squirrel with one grumpy looking Pumpkin...  LOL!

Everybody should try this next year.  We could have a contest on the board.
